Steel rotors on 370z?

Before this thread gets shut down...

I have 2 piece rotors on all four corners. The only way you will feel the weight difference is on the track, IF you have track experience. You'll feel a greater difference in how the car handles by installing lighter wheels. That's money better spent on building a nice daily driver anyway.

I cannot, under any circumstance, recommend someone buying a 2 piece, steel, or carbon rotor kit for street use only.

Couldn't find anyone who makes a steel brake rotor for the Z. Did find out the you have to use pads made for steel rotors. Because of the different friction coefficient.

I could tell the difference when I put on 2-piece rotors on all 4 corners. But that is just me. You don't have to be on the track to be able to tell the difference.

Maybe it's because i did it after the wheels, that and other sketchy aero testing parts going on the car around the same time
